Just a random non-hating opinion. I know twitter-tumblr-instagram cycle information and you end up not knowing about where it has come from but your post on Alexia's sister's surgical appointment made me realise that we're not that far from Harry Styles stalker fans than we think
Istg some people need to STOP because I've seen a tweet and that someone was close to searching all kindergartens of Catalunya just to get an "inedit" picture of Alexia as a baby
You do so well informing, the purpose of the blog, but also stopping this because I live nearby where Crnogorcevic lived until last year and there were fans there almost every morning. This, the ciutat esportiva drama and also on social media? Some people call footballers "dry" when they don't post or sign but they don't owe us anything and are not perfect puppets to serve the masses (remember the Earps incident this year?)
thanks for your comments, anon, but sadly i think those types of fans are already here! and coincidentally, the twitter algorithm just showed me a fight between fans about the kindergarten picture of alexia you referred to in your ask! 👀
to me, people are respectful for the most part on tumblr, but i've seen all sorts of things crossing the line on twitter and instagram, including fans posting private photos, circulating paparazzi photos that players asked to be removed, directly tagging players on cringe/inappropriate posts, and commenting on the social media accounts of player family members, friends, and significant others. 🤦♀️ (please don't break the fourth wall!)
i get that defining the line and boundaries can sometimes be difficult, and obviously there are issues like parasocial relationships with these players. it's the price of increased attention and fandom, and we definitely want more recognition and accolades and brand deals for these amazing athletes, but we can do better.
i remember when fandom was a lot smaller and you could have 5+ minute conversations with players after matches, and players used to be a lot more open with their time and selves. things have changed and we have to respect that. plus, the ciutat esportiva nonsense is infuriating. i know that players, including alexia, have complained about that and asked for extra security.
i've established some boundaries for my posts, and try to post from public sources only or directly from the player's ig profiles. for example, my alexia as a child post are photos from her and her sister's open accounts only.
and finally, i know we all love to gossip, but i really want to stick to these types of sources, and not go tooooo far down the rumour and innuendo rabbit hole. (i'm guilty of this and will try to do better!)

Perhaps going to abandon places filled with dark waters were not a good place to go exploring in. This one was cold and gave off eerie vibes that something might be lurking down in those flat, dark depths of those waters. Something that could possibly just launch out at me, grab me and pull me right in to be eaten alive.
I shiver at the thought and keep my eyes on the body of water while heading into the next room. Moving my flashlight away from the quiet body of water when I deemed it safe enough than what I needed to see what was in front of me. Little dust particles flowing through the battery powered rays of light.
Moving my flashlight around the next room. This room seemed to be the main room of this place, being big enough to possibly host a 100, maybe a little bit more people in it? Not to mention the many other hallways that branched off to the other joints of the building. Some being filled to the brim with water, others being a bit more free to wander into.
Walking forward more into the center of the room. I shined my flashlight over the big glass cylinder in front of me. The glint of the dusty sign scratching on the glass taking my attention for a second as I read the indented metal sign. Barely reading “Marine Sanctuary” a really old aquarium I remember reading about before exploring this building in the overgrown forest.
This… Sanctuary used to be so prospering. Filled with all sorts of aquatic creatures ranging from fresh and salt water. Tall and bushy deep green plants settling in selections where a tank couldn’t fit; like near a staircase, bathrooms and the gift shops. Making you feel like you didn’t leave from the jungle outside… or at least that’s what I imagined it to be like; seeing a small flier pinned on a gas station’s pinboard. I have never been in this Sanctuary before. I wasn’t even born when it was built and broken down for reasons I couldn’t find.
It’s what made me want to find this place and maybe share it with my family to explore. If, it was safe enough. I wasn’t going to lead my family into hazardous, abandoned buildings out of the blue, not without a safety check by me.
Turning my gaze to the glass tank behind the sign, I couldn’t see anything but murky water in there. It almost looked like a solid compound if it weren’t for the occasional speck of movement in there. Microscopic creatures and bacteria living inside of there.
I almost shiver again at the thought of just getting drowned in that. Swallowing all that unknown disease into my stomach. I would for sure think I should have to get my stomach sizzled then. I wound not be living after that. I didn’t think I could.
So much for hoping this place was safely intact.
Flashing the area around me again. I checked which hallway was the most safest to go down through without water blocking the way. Finding about 6 hallways with signs above the archway labeled with the classic “Sea Turtles” are over there or “Deep Depths” types of fish over here.
Though, only 2 hallways seemed safe enough to wander through without it looking it would collapse underneath the water damage this place held. One of the hallways being labeled as “The Twilight Zone” and the other being labeled as “The Abyss” and if schooling didn’t have these movie times I wouldn’t have known what The Abyss was the deep, dark of the ocean. I would have went through with that hallway because it sounded cool.
So, I clearly went with the more seeable and more survivable option. The Twilight Zone, just before the Sunlight Zone.
Making my way towards the decided hallway, I could have sworn I saw something in one of the other hallways filled with water. My light flashing over to the hallway for a double check. Seeing nothing but flat water inside of the hallway. Maybe… it was just a speck of dust fooling my jumpy nerves? Yeah, that was it, just a speck of dust.
Slowly turning back to my main goal of giving into a different room. I didn’t completely trust my own brain to let that body of water leave my peripheral vision until I was in the other selection of the aquarium.
This selection of the building showed signs everywhere of the Twilight Zone creatures they had to offer: Confetti Squid, Strawberry Squid, Bobtail Squid, Dreamer Angler, and Lantern Fish.
Of course, there is more to this selection to just those rarity’s, but the build was abandoned. There wasn’t much to see besides its ruins and damn! Do I forget how dark the Twilight Zone can really be for being 200-1,000 meters below the surface of the ocean. I don’t know if this was still better than The Abyss or not.
Taking a closer look to the tanks crafted into the wall. Somewhere broken and cracked over the floor while there were others that had that same murky water like the tank in the lobby with nothing really in them, just the same dangerous microscopic creatures and bacteria.
I sigh out in disappointment and move away from the tanks, looking for a place to sit in this let down of an aquarium. Finding a cement pillar on the ground next to a pool of water that was no doubt another safety hazard. Just what did this pillar support before? The caving in ceiling?
I shake my head at the obvious and take a seat on the pillar thinking of how this exploration was more of a let down than I thought it would be. There was no living fish to be seen. Which is expected from an abandoned aquarium, but one could hope there was still something left out of it. The aesthetic of it was cool, but there really wasn’t much to see and half the building was flooded with the flora outside coming in though the cracks of the cement walls.
…It would be a surprise if the electricity still worked here. Maybe I should try and find that box? Try and turn it on?
Plop, plop.
Plop, plop.
The hairs on my arms and neck stand. My heart jumpstarting in my chest as I look around me for the source. That sound definitely was not here when I first entered this room. I would have known that from the start.
Plop, plop.
Plop, plop.
My gut twists as I quickly stand back up from the pillar. Should I leave this place? Was it just a sudden failure in some water pipes? Oh, should definitely leave this place.
Plop, plop—
A sudden black and white creature launches out from the water pool next to the pillar. Its hands, claws extended out at me with its mouth wide open; filled with shark-like teeth. Its long dark gray tounge rolling inside of its mouth as it hisses at me. Glossy gray eyes looking straight at me.
I couldn’t move away from its hollow stare. This moment feeling so slow to me, but so fast when this creature latches onto my shoulder, piercing through my clothing and into my skin. A cry ripping from my throat as I fall onto my back at the force. Its teeth desperately trying to rip any shed of skin and muscle it could get.
Oh, this moment felt like it was going to be my last. The last time I would have seen my family, my friends with how my own red blood splattered into the bony, scaly skin of this horrid creature. Its eyes never blinking as its thrashes at my body. Ripping and tearing at my clothing as I try to protect myself against its much power build. My hands pushing and clawing up at the blood seeking creatures slimy and dark gray scales.
I whimper and achingly, painfully curl up on myself. Tears building up and down my cheeks when the creature seems satisfied with its work, pushing up and off of me. Wanting to see me bleed out beneath its soulless gaze like some sort of psychopath.
If only I wasn’t so out of my own lifeline and hope of returning back to my family. I would have noticed how this creature screeched and gurgled. Clutching at its chest as its bones snap in half, dark blue blood staining the ground. How the ground itself rumbled before this… purring reaches my ears. Weird silky warmth being repeatedly pressed into my torn shoulder, stinging at me as I whine uncomfortably at the sensation.
Leaning away from the stinging warmth the best I could. The purring turns into a coo for a second, another solid warmth presses up against my back with more solid warm things wrapped around me before the persistent warmth and purring continued. Bringing me a slow sense of… peace in my situation. My muscles slowly relaxing in its hold.
…Safe, I felt safe in this warmth.
Safe. Safe you are, little Maiden. Always safe with me.

Knox x Charlie headcanons:
Because they’re adorable and I love them! This doesn’t connect to the rp blogs - I just wanted to make a post about them on my own.
Knox took years to come to terms with his own sexuality and was always kind of envious of Charlie’s confidence. He knew Charlie had feelings for him, but he had so much internalized homophobia from growing up in the straight world of the 1950’s that he just, couldn’t reciprocate the feelings and would hide them.
When Knox finally revealed his feelings to Charlie, Charlie was overwhelmed, angry, relieved, and excited all at once. He had been chasing it so long and when it happened, he almost wanted to push it away because of the sudden change, fear of losing the closeness they already had, and a fear of putting his whole heart in and getting abandoned later like he was in his childhood.
Charlie is not used to having love in his life, or people who actually pay attention to him or give him good attention. He grew up as an only child with parents who were always gone or dismissive, raised by the nanny and always acting out for attention, because bad attention is better than no attention. This never changed, and because of all this, Knox’s overly sweet and constant adoration sometimes overwhelms Charlie and he just needs some space. Charlie is trying to get used to all of the loving attention, and Knox is trying to understand without being hurt by Charlie putting walls up sometimes. It’s definitely a process.
Knox gets Charlie flowers all the time. Every time one bunch of them dies he is sure to replace it with another one. Always in Charlie’s favorite colors, and always when he least expects it because he loves surprising him.
They’re great at hiding their relationship from the Welton adults, since they were friends so long before, it isn’t hard to fall back into that pattern when needed.
Charlie loves to find new places within and around the school to pull Knox into for a kiss or just to be close. He’s excited by the riskiness of it, and loves the way it makes Knox blush and laugh.
In Keating’s class, Charlie likes to pass notes to Knox since he sits in front of him, to try to make him laugh or get flustered, saying things like “Hey, you’re hot” or “My room later? ;)” or sending little drawings to him while Keating is not looking.
-These are really fun to do! Let me know if you want any more, or any for other characters as well! I’m open to any ideas!

I feel like debating who Loki was talking to when he said "For You" in the last episode, is missing the point of the scene. And people referring to it as "cowardly" and a "no-homo" moment is just?? Baffling to me tbh because like;
First of all, it is obviously intended to be to both of them? If they only wanted to make it about Sylvie, Mobius wouldn't be there. If they only wanted to make it about Mobius, Sylvie wouldn't be there. If they wanted to make it about everyone they would've just framed it more equally, he does do it for all his friends ("for all of us"), but they have that scene to highlight these two specific relationships. The framing is quite clear, they have him take a last look at all of his friends before going down the stairs, but Mobius and Sylvie runs after him to have a final significant moment.
Which absolutely makes sense and is consistent with the show we have seen so far, s1 and s2 combined, which is what I love about it. And it was to be honest a surprise! Going into this season, I had little hope for Loki/Mobius interactions, just didn't want to expect too much since S1 had a lot of their connection, but that could've been it. I was shocked when s2ep1 was full to the brim with Loki and Mobius scenes? And then they kept reinforcing every week that they care about each other, is a funny duo to watch, and are important to one another.
And despite this, I expected the rug to at some point be pulled, especially compared to Loki's relationship to Sylvie. No matter people's personal viewing on the show, she is still cited as a love interest by showrunners and is just portrayed as that by the narrative a lot of the time. Sidelining that, even in s2 when the romantic hints are more vague, she's still a very important person in Loki's life. She played a central part of the plot and Loki's own character development of understanding himself.
So to me, I was surprised seeing Mobius and Sylvie side by side in the end. Both being framed as The important people in Loki's life. Then, however you wanna see in what ways they are important is up to you, but they are the people he keeps coming back to for advice and self-reflection. You can frame it as "oh it should've been only been Mobius and they added Sylvie to downplay it", which, I just disagree with (If they wanted to go for explicitly canon Lokius they needed to set that up even more earlier in the season but that's a post for another day). Sylvie is still like, a constant in the narrative and driving force of s1, even if s2 changes things around a bit, and imo it would be inconsistent if she just vanished here. I guess I am used to media that downplays a meaningful dynamic between two dudes in more aggressive ways, which they absolutely could've done, and would've taken me out of the story to be honest... but they didn't, Mobius and Sylvie got to be side by side in the end and that imo validated the Loki/Mobius dynamic way more than downplays it.
TLDR; The "For you" was for both Mobius and Sylvie because why would you frame it that way otherwise, and having them side by side like that validates Lokius way more than downplays it in a "no-homo" way considering the full context of the show.
